Homemade Spicy Margarita Salt Gifts

This time of year really begs for a sun salutation of some sort, doesn’t it? A few local taquerias here in Portland have figured out how to do it right in liquid form—the ever elegant and bright margarita, of course. Probably the best part of these stellar Margaritas is the spicy rim salt.

The good news is a great margarita rim salt is easy and inexpensive to make at home. Package it up sweetly and functionally in a tin CD case, and you have the perfect suggestion of extravagance and sunlight. Each gift pretty much begets a party!
